That depends. What is it a tac-nuke like in MW2, that kills you instantly, no matter what the score? Or was it one of those nukes fired from the Arctic that are really easy to shoot down? (See: G.I. Joe’s nano-rockets. Not the same as a nuke, but likely they are around the same size.)

TVTropes is heroically BSOD-ed: “The database hates you right now. The entry might exist or it might not exist. We would clear this mystery up for you, if we could get to the database. We tried to look it up, but the database puked up an error.”

Man. if this doesn’t make him completely crash, i can only thing of ONE thing in the future that could. But colored me impressed. I never expected this from Grape. It seems almost humorous too that in some way, this is Grape’s way of payback i find for all the times Peanut wakes her up =P

Hmm, I don’t think Grape knew Peanut had a crush on her but more just trying to get it out of him to see if he really did… Of course, he could’ve saved his own butt by saying something like, “No, what made you think I had a crush on you?”, but no. Now Grape knows FOR SURE.

BTW, I don’t like Weird Al anymore. I’m a teenager, my hormones are out of control and I’m more angrier. I like stuff like Slipknot or KoRn now.

I don’t listen to Weird Al any more, either; but I don’t think it’s hormones. It’s because I discovered that all but a rare few of his songs aren’t the silly-goofy-sing-about-food songs. That sort of humor bugs me.

His In 3-D album still has some classics, though. And “Hardware Store” has that impressive burst of vocals at the end.

Peanut is the best in the first and last pic, poor lil depressed puppy then short circuited doggie… But wait why? *Forgot to read first one sec…* Need to talk, Blah-blah-blah, apologize… yada-yada-ya… no… No… NOOOOOOoooo!!! how could you??? DX He’ll never be the “normal” Peanut again… XP
… … … JOKE! X3
EPIC job man, best twist ever, from now on this is my fave strip.
Can’t wait how this turns out. X3

5!
Just like the end of the world, we don’t know exactly what is going to happen (and when, but that’s not applicable ATM).
Rick may or may not do what you said at f-rst, Valerio, and I’m really hoping he DOESN’T.

If she knew all along, did she expect him just to forget it sooner or later? If so, she was exceedingly rude to treat him that way…
Well, what’s done is done, for now let’s cross fingers for those two. Hey, who knows, maybe she *does* feel something for him…

… now stop and think for a moment, which would be stupider? him kissing her, or just staring?… the kiss will land you stuck in a tree somewhere unfamiliar (FALLCOOONN PUUUNNCHH) and an angry sister for a while, the stare might get you teasing in the future, at most.

Tarot foresaw it all. This moment was bound to happen, and Rick was able enough to make us forget what she said time ago.
Now, let’s see if Grape will ‘fully accept’ Peanut, or… not. *cross ALL fingers*

I CAN’T! Someone’s had a crush on me before (for some arbitrary reason or another, that I have YET to figure out), and I didn’t realize it until years later.. when she told me. But then, it’s entirely possible that I’m just that dense. >.> So.. maybe?

not all the time, aside from a child-hood crush I got over fast, I’ve never had another one, but because of my lifestyle choices, I’ve had people think I have crushes… and the opposite, that I just hate women, neither of which are/were true .

People use emotions and body language to say much more than they think they do, from their marital status, to their current mood, what they think about someone to how much they like them, someone who has chosen an abnormal life role, confuses people and causes them to draw false conclusions about said individual, as people are just far to used to watching for certain emotional and visual cues without even realizing it.

The thing that confuses most men about women is the fact that women are generally better at noticing these subtle cues than men are, and as men generally blind themselves to it, preferring to be upfront with words, they ignore the fact that they openly display their emotions and thoughts, whereas women, who are again more aware, are generally better at guarding those emotions, but both still subconsciously pay at least some attention to these cues.
Men paying less attention to them is, in my opinion, the single cause of men thinking women are both mind-readers, and emotional wrecks, whereas the same goes for women who think their man was stupid because he didn’t realize that she wanted him to do something, she didn’t actually verbally tell him, and lacking experience in the area of unsaid messages (well, most of them it goes without saying what men are normally better at picking up on than women), he just won’t pick up on it.

Or white out. Black out can lead to remembering said cause of crash, and the possibility of crashing again. Whiting out will (hopefully) “white out” the memory of said cause, like liquid paper does to pen.
There’s my logic at 10:00 PM on a Tuesday. Just be glad it’s not a Monday or Friday.

I did think the same thing once and rewrote the whole stuff and just as I was aboot to hit submit I saw a lil link with an arrow sayin “previous comments”. XP
Could use some numbered pages like on forums or somethin… or a bigger sign. X3

Apparently, The Great Rick has heard our prayers! Way to go Rick! I’ll take this any day over paging

To future comment readers: in case you haven’t figured it out by now, for most of this year the comments section would split into two pages at the 100th comments or so. This was part of the upgrade to Comicpress 2.8 ( see http://www.housepetscomic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=263&p=15588 ) and also caused all those messages near the end with links to a “comment-page-1″ address

Don’t expect too much; with the romantic tension gone this comic would lose a lot of potential plots. Plus there’s the issue of Max and Tarot. And we don’t even know of Grape is into dogs. More likely than not, she isn’t.

“Weird Al” Yankovic basically makes a living out of taking the melody of a song and puting compleately unrelated lyrics over it. Of course, much of the humor comes from knowing the original song (and seeing what he’s replaced), but often the lyrics are wacky enough in themselves to give you a laugh.

So, go! Find a song, find Wierd Al’s parody, and have a good time! Find out what you’re missing

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I’ve been reading this since the beginning, but just decided to post because this is getting a bit odd. So, as far as I know, Peanut has a thing for cats, that’s a given, even though it’s considered taboo. Also, Jelly and Peanut were virtually raised together? I can’t say I know their past or history but they, in my eyes, were like brother and sister. You could consider my brain = fried. I thought Peanut liked cats, just not Jelly in that way.

Actually, it makes sense that Grape would know about Peanut’s crush on her. If it wasn’t the signs he gave off before Tarot, Tarot pretty much gave it away when she joined the comic.

As for me, I feel like I’m the only one who likes Peanut and Tarot as a couple. I don’t know, it just feels like if Peanut and Grape got together, it would be like step-siblings going out, you know? It’s perfectly alright, but at the same time, you’re still dating your legal brother/sister.

I also like Tarot and Peanut as a couple, and prefer how this is always reserved for comedy

in addition to what you’ve said if Peanut and grape were to hook up, we’d see much less of Max and probably almost never see Tarot again; Peanut is one of the only concrete things holding her in the story at the moment, besides her relations with Pete, which have yet to be revealed.

I actually like Tarot and Peanut as a couple as well, I’m just not out to say it much since I’m not sure where it will go, so as of right now it’s pretty equal scale with me. Any couple statements from me are usually after I’m really really sure it might go in that direction.

HEY!!! Somethin just got to me… What if Grape doesn’t know anything, it’s just that she’s being sarcastic? Or something like that?
Yeah it doesn’ fit the situation and doesn’t make any sense buuuut… what if?
Yeah-yeah then it could go on like: Just messin around and turns out it was a misunderstandin and nothin changes(bad way).
Or: Peanut confesses and Grape goes “The hell are you talkin about???” and a new plot rises. (Tip: Good way. X3 )

Wow only 4 replylevels are made, that’s new. XD
I just don’ know, if he ever thinks to comment on one of my comments and says I can then yeah.
I just think without knowing a person or anything(in forums and such) it’s just impolite… and creepie. XP

Wow, that actually made me have to do a double take. I almost made my friends think I was crazy from just suddenly laughing.

In any case, I’m slightly concerned now, since I’m thinking Max is still around, and if he’s in earshot (which I’m thinking likely since he is a cat afterall)…. Anyway, hope Peanut recovers and he doesn’t try kissing her or somthing, and if he does, Grape or Max don’t scratch him.

…’fraid not. There’s no reason it would happen now, either gauging by realistic reactions or by narrative analysis. In fact it’s even less likely than two days ago. Chances are it will take between one and four more story arcs dealing with these two before they are likely to achieve a resolution we can truly count as definitive. Not to say it couldn’t happen now, but at best it would be an on-off thing at least for a long while (not to say that’s not good – remember Boy Meets World?) and at worst it’d be unsatisfying and anticlimactic, and also really angsty (so exactly like the end of the farm arc).

if Fido + Sabrina works (and he is a POLICE DOG for pete’s sake!), Peanut + Grape can work as well, with extra humor!
Not to mention the numerous plots that can be entwined once the two couples start talking…

not really, the easiest way to avoid a problem you think is over with is to ignore it for a bit and then bring it up later in a situation that says “I know but it doesn’t matter now because your over it”… didn’t work this time, not fully anyways.

I haven’t heard anyone mention the possibility of a Max + Tarot couple as they console each other on the loss of their other loves.

So far all the mixed couples were male dog and female cat, why not the opposite? Max seems to have had a rougher life than the other house cats, but no one he’s close enough to too love and Tarot is attuned to peoples wants and needs and she certainly seems to have a lot of love to give and she’s tried from the start to get Peanut and Grape together, so on some level she seems to have accepted that she’ll never have Peanut for herself.

Because they have shown no affection towards each other at all, hardly know each other, are both in relationships, and interest in other species is the exception, not the rule.

We don’t even know if Grape likes Peanut back, and whatever happens chances are we won’t see them together (since that would close too many potential plots). Hence, Max and Tarot are likely to keep their significant others, at least for now. If you look at things like a writer rather than like a shipper, then it’s pretty obvious why no one has suggested the idea of Max and Tarot getting together.

Who knows though? If Tarot’s not as busy with Peanut anymore, it could end up twisting to an even more hilarious plot, where Tarot goes raging because of it. and the most twisted storyline that has ever been made is released from the madness of Tarot. If that wouldn’t be funny, I don’t know what is(Except for Housepets as it is )

I’ve actually thought about that, but I didn’t think it will work out, at least with what we understand at the moment. I mean it makes sense to pair Peanut and Grape since they have known each other for a long time, if anything they would already know most of the basic facts it takes to be a relationship.

What interest would the like? Like, between the current pairings so far (Grape and Max, and Peanut and Tarot) they have at least one thing in common. I mean both Grape and Max like Pridelands, and Tarot can do these weird, but cool, things, and Peanut seems very much into that.

Can’t be sure. I know we’ve gone onto three pages before (don’t remember when, though, but I’m willing to bet it was during the “It’s a Wonderful Dog’s Life” arc). If we go onto four pages, I think there won’t be a doubt.

I just really can’t picture the idea of them being an item, rather close siblings. Already said my opinion way back about this topic. If they suddenly do end up together, I’ll be a little bit disappointed while others might cheer. But this doesn’t mean I’ll stop loving and reading housepets. Just need to get over the fact and move on IF it does happen.

A little lesson on HTML and The Internet: when an address has a ‘#’ sign in it, it means it’s pointing to a “bookmark”, a certain point on the page. It’s the way we have to scroll you directly to what we want you to see, by putting it as close to the top of your browser window as possible.

Please oh Please….don’t let it just be another tease…Come on… Like noone is going to see what happens next. The whole “well let’s just be friends” speech.
I just know that is going to happen…It happens to every time… It’s like every writer just goes the whole, “Air out your laundry & nothing comes out of it” route.
